Obrachire SHS Student Breaks Silence After Violent Inter-School Attack

The cheers of the district inter-school games should have been the soundtrack to a weekend of athletic triumph. Instead, for Fiadzigbe, a student from Obrachire Senior High Technical School (SHTS), they became the background noise to a nightmare.

What began as a sunny afternoon of competition in the Central Region dissolved into a scene of senseless violence that has left a young man scarred and a community demanding answers.

Fiadzigbe wasn’t looking for a fight when the chaos erupted, he was simply looking for a place to sit and tend to a minor eye irritation.

“I didn’t do anything. I was just standing there,” He recounted, his voice heavy with the shock that outlasts physical pain.

While his peers scrambled for safety as tensions boiled over, he stood frozen in the confusion. Fiadzigbe describes a scene that shifted from sport to survival in a heartbeat.

By the time he realized the peace had shattered, a rain of stones had already found him. The assault left him with a broken tooth and multiple facial injuries.

The brutality of the moment was not lost to the shadows.

A video of the incident has since gone viral, acting as a digital ghost that haunts the social media feeds of students and parents alike.

The footage captures a heartbreaking contrast, a sea of students fleeing the scene while one lone individual remains under a barrage of stones.

The alleged attackers, identified as students from the Swedru School of Business (SWESBUS), have turned a regional tradition into a crime scene.

In the wake of the footage, the Ghana Police Service has moved swiftly, arresting three students as investigations continue into the root of the violence.

The fallout has been immediate. The Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ministry of Education issued a joint condemnation, describing the assault as “unacceptable” and a direct violation of the values schools are meant to instill.

As a result, all ongoing Inter-School sporting activities in the Central Region have been suspended, a move intended to allow for a total security review, but one that leaves a somber silence over stadiums that should be filled with joy.

For the officials, the focus is on policy and “enhanced security measures.” But for the boy from Obrachire, the focus is much narrower. He isn’t asking for public sympathy or polished press releases; he is asking for a reckoning.

“I want them to be arrested,” Fiadzigbe insisted, his resolve as firm as the stones that struck him. “Anything that the government wants to do to them.”

As the legal process begins, the story of Fiadzigbe serves as a stark reminder that when the “spirit of sportsmanship” fails, it is the students who pay the price.

The Inter-School games in Agona Swedru may be suspended, but for one victim, the pursuit of justice is the only race that matters now.
